Prov. 3: 1-3 "My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they
will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity. Let love and
faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet
of your heart."
In this reading, King Solomon call you his son. We should remember that Solomon's words are God's
God's love is shown in the reading, he tells for us to not forget his teaching. Which can be both litteral and not, forgetting his teaching is actually comitting sin but knowing about God. For example being a Christian but comitting a sin like lying. And to keep his command in our hearts. Which is fulfilling his commands. To remember God as the only God who will save us and forgive our sins, to only worship God, to not make ourselves an idol, to not take the name of the Lord in vain, to lremember the day of the Sabbath and to keep it holy, to honor your parents, to not commit murder, to not commit adultery, to not steal, and to not desire anything from your neighbor. Keeping these command isn't that easy as flicking a light switch. When our hearts are turned to God, it will be sort of easy as not sinning. When Solomon says that it will prolong your life, don't take it seriously. Keeping these commands stores for you the treasures of heaven which will let you live an eternal life, for to not be judged badly and for you to be protected from the fires of hell. The last verse talks about letting love and faithfulness never leave you, to bind them around your neck and to write them in the tablet of your heart. This is keeping a strong bond with God and never letting love leave you. Which is loving him no matter what anyone says or does. To be faithful to God and to worship him no matter what. End, may God bless you.
